In that same book Newby makes some interesting comments about "Private
Practice Audiology." Once in awhile just for fun I reread this section of
his text. He didn't see much of a future for audiologists wanting to go into
private practice. I think he may have missed something.

In this world there are many of us (Carl Jung thought about 70% are in this
group) who like to see things in simple number-like terms. It does make it
easier for us to hear a number - any number - to describe our hearing loss.
However, what do you say to the person I saw today who has a mild loss with
lousy discrimination in one ear and a moderately-severe loss with good
discrimination in the other ear. A number (or percentage) really wouldn't
tell the story here!
